- mation on Register screen.
-

- spaces from the PreReboot Instruction fields when
- they lose the focus.
-
- . Added commands to highlight the PreReboot Instruc-
- tion fields when they receive the focus.
-
- . Added "Reboot1=" through "Reboot4=" strings to the

- routine.
-
- . Added command to perform copy routine for Copy
- Configuration menu option.
-
- . Added a check to the Open FileName field to see if
- filename exists in current directory when ENTER is
- pressed. If it does exist, the BOOT'R Editor
- attempts to open it. If the file does not exist,
- the BOOT'R Editor advances the cursor to the File
- List Box for manual selection. (Copied routine to
- Copy Configuration and Delete Configuration proce-
- dures.)
-
- . Added a warning message after a copy routine is
- completed. Warning informs users that a configura-
- tion file must be edited and re-saved before it can
- be successfully used with BOOT'R. Failure to do so
- could result in operational errors.
-
- . Corrected problem where the BOOT'R Editor issued an
- error message that a configuration had not been
- saved, even though Save had just been selected.
- (This only occurred when one of the filename fields
- on the File List screen had been changed.)
-
- . Added code to make the BOOT'R Editor convert a
- filename field (on the File List screen) to UPPER
- CASE, if Save is selected, and the cursor remains in
- an active filename field.
-
- . Corrected problem where the ESC key did not invoke a
- "Cancel" event on the New Configuration screen.
-
- . Added code to make the ENTER key act as a TAB key.
- This allows users to press ENTER instead of TAB
- when they want to move to the next field. (Does not
- apply on file and directory list boxes.)
-
- . Fixed problem where the first field on the pre-
- reboot settings screen was not receiving the focus
- when it was accessed for a second time.
-
- . Corrected problem with tab index on defaults and
- pre-reboot setting screens.

- for the existence of a file before attempting to
- open or read it.
-
- . Added "About" screen that can be accessed through

-
- . Fixed problem where the BOOT'R Editor was attempting
- to read the BOOTR.INI file upon initial loading of
- the program. This caused an error message and term-
- ination of the program if the file BOOTR.INI did not
- exist. (Screen command was referenced in opening
- code, causing an implicit loading of the editing
- form.)
-
- . Edited routine used to write .BTR files. Modified
- code to add a line feed after each carriage return
- when writing lines that were enclose in a text box.
-

- Editor was not warning the user to save changes if
- only the configuration description had changed.
-
- . Added integer variable "OpenFileNumber" to help the
- BOOT'R Editor detect which file was being opened for
- reading. This fixed a problem where text could not

- line label allowed the user to select and delete the
- internal text using the mouse, even though no tab-
- stop property was set to the item. Changed all text
- boxes to labels to prevent future problems.
